To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, PHTLLIP L. RILEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Blairsville, in the county of Indiana and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in lindow-Seats, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a window seat and has for its principal object the production of a seat which may be attached to the windowsill so as to extend outwardly therefrom for the purpose of allowing a housewife to sit or stand thereon for washing the exterior of window-panes and the like.

Another object of the invention is to provide a window-seat which may be converted into a table for house-hold purposes.

With these and other obiects in view this invention consists of certain novel combinations, arrangements, and construction of parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a side elevation of my invention showing same attached to a windowsill,

Fig. 2 is a front elevation of my invention,

Fig. 3 is a side elevation of my invention showing same used as a table, and

Fig. 4 is a fragmentary section taken on line 4 4 of Fig. 1.

By referring to the accompanying drawings hy numerals it will be seen that 1 designates the platform which may be of any desired size or shape and has extending transversely and parallel with the front edge thereof the metallic strip 2 which is attached thereto in any desired manner and has its terminal bent so as to form the ears 3 which are provided with apertures. The bracing legs 4 are pivotally attached to the ears 3 and have pivotally mounted to the other end thereof the feet 5 by means of the thumb screws 6.

The bracket strap 7 is pivotally attached to the brace rod 4 a short distance from its free end and is adapted to extend through a slot provided in the platform 1 as is clearly shown in Fig. 4 of the drawing.r

This strap 7 is provided with a plurality of apertures 7 whereby the bracing leg 4 may be adjusted as desired and the feet 5 will rest against the side of the building or may be placed in extension of the leg 4 as shown in Fig. 3. The bracket strap 7 is held in position by means of the thumb screw 9 which is provided with the threaded shank 10 adapted to Grip the internal threads of the plate 10. xtending from the'threaded shank -10 there is provided the pin portion 11 which penetrates through the apertures 12. This construction is clearly shown in Fig. 4 of the drawing.

The leg 13 is attached to the other transverse edge of the platform 1 in any suitable manner and is provided with the extension 14 which is pivoted thereto and held in the desired position by means of the thumb screw 15. Frictional portions 16, 17, and 18 are provided upon the leg 13 for gripping various places of the windowsill proper. The pocket 19 is adapted to receive the windowsill proper as is clearly shown in Fig. 1 of the drawing.

Vhen the brace leg 4 is extended at right angles to the platform 1 and has its feet 6 extending in alinement therewith and the legs 13 have their extensions 14 extending in alinement therewith it will be seen that my invention will form a table which may be used for any desired purpose.

The above description and drawings refer to the preferred embodiment of my invention but I wish it understod that 1 may make such changes in arrangement, construction and combination of parts as may fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is t` 1. A window seat of the class described comprising a platform, a pair of windowsill engaging legs fixedly attached to one transverse edge of said platform, swinging legs pivotally attached to the other transverse edge of said platform, said swinging legs provided with feet pivotally carried on free terminals, and means for holding said swinging legs in any desired position.

2. A window seat of the class described comprising a platform, windowsill engaging legs iiXedly attached to one transverse edge of said platform, swinging legs pivotally attached to the other transverse edge of said platform, feet pivotally attached to the free In testimony whereof I ailx my signature 1n presence of two Wltnesses. j
